KING CHARLES HIS BIRTHRIGHT ECCLESIASTES X. XVII Blessed art thou O Land when thy KING is the Sonne of Nobles By P. M. Gentleman EDINBVRGH Printed by Iohn Wreittoun 1633. KING CHARLES HIS BIRTHRIGHT ECCLESIASTES X. XVII Blessed art thou O Land when thy KING is the Sonne of Nobles IS any Land or any clyme More blest then Britane at this tyme What Monarch or what Soveraigne That dwels vpon this earthly maine May with our matchlesse CHARLES compare Britane France and Irelands heire By HENRIE LIZA peacefull IAMES Borne heire to foure faire Diadames First to the Roses whyte and red Next to the Lillie sprung and spred Then to the Lyon fierce and sharpe And to Apollo's golden Harpe The true borne Sonne of Kings before Aboue an hundreth seven and more The blest effects which his raigne brings Prompts him to bee the Sonne of Kings A mortall God a Prince divyne By lyne law lot the Heavens propyne A peirlesse Prince who from his youth Hath ever lovde the sacred trueth What gifts belongs to those that 's crownde But in his Majestie is found Hee faith defends by his great might Hee represents GODS Image right Hee favours peace with friend and foe Hee can all veterate wrath forgoe If neede requyre hee can prepare Most prudently for lawfull Warre Or foes envyes our blest estate To haue a King chast temperat Who being young wee joy to tell Proues father to the Common-well Who wisely but all friends respect Can search out sinnes and sinnes correct Who lives a life of good report Example to the common sort Who is a terror to the Thiefe And to the good a strong reliefe Who hath a heart stout and compleet Prepard all dangers for to meet Who hath reformde the civill Lawes For equitie and justice cause No ydle mumbling Papists prayers Nor yet no bloody Iesuit ayers No false Arminian Brunist breath Dare echoed bee within His earth To publicke offices and charges Hee onely prefers and inlarges The honest vertuous and the good Not respecting wealth or blood Hee hath a princely prudent care O're Orphans poore and Widows bare But heere are gifts which farre exceeds And farre surpasses vulgar heads Hee can securely in effect Walke wisely on the Dragons neck Most safely hee can see and heare A Crocodile to spend a teare The Basilicks inchanting eye Can no more harme him than a flie Hee makes the Lambe simpathie rare Hard by the Wolfe to sleepe but feare The subtill Fox if hee forbid Dare not approach the harmelesse kid These gifts superlatiue and more His Princely wisedome doth decore And seeke him extra you shall see A Paragone but paritie For why his life defyance throes At envyes face and all his foes Can any Naboth plaine hee wants His Vine-yeard for his fruitefull plants Or can Vriah say hee dyes Because the King his wife espyes Or can the people or CHRISTS flocke Complaine of Sal'mons heavie yocke Can any curre-mouthd Mastiue say That barkes vpon the world this day Say but his Soule doth still commence Peace and Religions defence And if subsidies bee concluded It s for those holy ends obtruded Since Kings are Gods how dare yee then Lyke Rabshaka's Senacheribs men Presume to raile reproach or breath Against the Godhead of their earth Dare any in a thought abhord Curse this Anoynted of the LORD Or blame this King whom reallie The Bards and Sybils prophesie To bee that Prince whose happie starres Presages to appease all warres That true borne King of whom of old The Ancient Prophets have foretold Of whom the Rymers in their verses Most happie events thus reherses That howsoever fortune fall The Lyon shall bee Lord of all This Princely Lyon and this Lord Shall with this Lillie make concord That Syce shall vp and Sinke shall vnder The dead shall rise and worke great wonder This Lyon shall bee King and Prince Of vncouth coasts farre farre from hence And of a waste and desart ground A continent not fully found Where hudge great wildernesse doth lye Thither his Colonies must hye To banish Zoroastes hence Wirh Molech Circe and her Prince And when Appollyon and his Aries Are skipped over Carons Ferries Then shall hee builde to the true GOD Temples to praise his Name abroad And bring sweete Shiloh to that shore Where Abbadon did dwell before ¶ O Royall King thou art that Hee Whom these predictions specifie Thou art that King and true borne Cesar Our greatest hap and hyest pleasure Britanes blesse and Europs jewell Our Palladium foode and fewell GODS minion and our onely loue Next to the King of Kings aboue Our guard our watch which still awakes In toyle and travell for our sakes Then come Blest KING with great renowne Receaue your great grand Fathers Crowne Your birthright Crowne that did suppresse The roaring Romans hardinesse That Virgin Scepter singularie Never as yet made tributarie Your owne true Crowne Great Sir I meane Your old Fergusian diadame Except this Crowne that Crowne was never That did remaine vnconquerd ever The Monarchs foure so much renownde Were all most odiously decrownde The Lyon with the Eagles wings I meane the stout Assirian Kings Was by the barbarous Boare beate downe Which signifies the Persian Crowne The Leopard the Grecian swey Did beate the mightie Boare away And then this Meteor Grecian might But lasted like a lightning bright The fearefull Beast with many teath Which doth poynt out the Romans wrath Though this Empyre continued longest Yet it was broke even at the strongest Proud Spaine were all but slaves of late Vnto the great Cesarean state And Caesar was a slaue beside To Gregorie for all his pryde France hath thryse exchangde the lyne Within nyne hundreth yeares and nyne The Popes head ay an heirelesse crowne A birthright for some bastard clowne The faithlesse gracelesse Ottoman Was tributar to Tamerlan To Scanderbeg and Godfrey stout And to the Christian Kings about And let mee speake this but offence With all submissiue reverence The Crowne of Iudah did remaine A captiue long in base disdaine But your braue Caledonian Crowne Beares this cognisance of renowne An hundreth and seven Princes faire Leaves this vnconquish to their heire And of this flocke foure score and ten Were Christian Kings and holy men Let any Nation in the World Vaunt in this manner vncontrold For let the Scythian Crowne contend Or Egypt for her age defend Compard with our antiquitie They both are but a noveltie ¶ Great King this Crowne and wee are yours And you alone art onely ours Your Princely Parents were our Kings And wee their faithfull vnderlings What night watches and dayes travells What forraine feede and homebred quarrells What warres what dangers toyle and paine They had for vs and wee for them It is admirable to heare As our antiquities can cleare And as they were so shall wee bee Yours in superlatiue degree FINIS
